Stars of Salado
October 23, 2010
Bill and Linda Roe and Rick and Denise
Thomssen hosted a wonderful evening of
music and dancing at The Chapel at
Caliber Oak in Salado, Texas. Almost
$35,000 was raised to purchase pediatric
transilluminators, devices that help
caregivers place intravenous lines with
minimal discomfort to young patients.
The Salado Trio and the Capps &
Middleton Duo entertained guests with
lively performances, putting everyone in the
mood to purchase the beautifully wrapped
gift boxes that represented an additional
opportunity to purchase equipment for the
new children’s hospital. ■

THE CATALYST Winter 11 | www.sw.org
Cheeves Bros. owners Beulah Spragg and
Jonathan Van Dusen hosted a scrumptious
seated dinner at Cheeves Bros. Steak
House in Temple, Texas, to celebrate the
brave men and women of the United States
armed forces. Special appearances by some
of the soldiers and generals from Fort
Hood, the military base in Killeen, Texas,
highlighted the evening, while keeping in
mind the brave children and families who
will benefit from the expertise of the new
Children’s Hospital at Scott & White. The
event raised approximately $75,000 to
purchase a second Olympic Cool Cap™,
an innovative medical device that
protects the brain of a premature or other
at-risk newborn in the neonatal intensive
care unit. ■
